Starting el Camino in France

:D Hi, Hopefully ye experienced Pilgrims could help me with a few queries.
I was hoping to start my camino in France this September. I had walked from Rabanal to Santiago last year, but now want to begin at the beginning, as such!
Where should I fly in to? (from Ireland) and if I was to walk for around 10 days where would it be ideal to fly out from? any info on where the best place to walk if one only has around 10 days to experience this part of the walk would be highly appreciated, or any other info you can offer
Thanks, Nuala
